Frequently asked questions about obtaining Ukrainian citizenship

What does the cost of obtaining Ukrainian citizenship depend on?

The cost of the procedure for obtaining citizenship of Ukraine is determined by several key factors:

1. The type and number of required documents. The cost of the service directly depends on the number and complexity of documents for obtaining Ukrainian citizenship. For example, obtaining citizenship by marriage may require fewer documents than for naturalization or confirmation of citizenship by nationality. If it is necessary to collect additional certificates, translate and certify documents, this will also increase the total cost.
2. Grounds for obtaining citizenship. The type of grounds on which the application is submitted affects the cost of the service. For example, Ukrainian citizenship through marriage or Ukrainian citizenship through the father may require different amounts of work. Naturalization in Ukraine often requires a more complex procedure, including filing an application, passing an interview and additional checks, which increases the cost of the service.
3. Urgency and complexity of registration. If it is necessary to submit documents for Ukrainian citizenship in an accelerated time frame, the cost of the service may be higher. Urgent preparation of documents, organization of the application submission and support at all stages will require additional time and resources, which will also be reflected in the total cost.
4. Legal support and consultations. The cost of the service includes the amount of legal assistance you receive. If the process requires a lot of consultations, legal analysis, document preparation and representation in government agencies, the cost of the service will increase. A comprehensive approach, including full support, may include all stages - from consultation on grounds for obtaining Ukrainian citizenship to filing and completing the process.
5. Individual characteristics of the case. Each case is unique, and additional circumstances may affect the cost. For example, if it is necessary to prove Ukrainian citizenship by nationality or to issue it for a child with special circumstances, it may take more effort and time to complete the process. Such cases require an individual approach and, accordingly, may have a higher cost.

To accurately assess the costs and avoid unforeseen expenses, it is recommended to contact a lawyer who will help calculate the cost of the service, taking into account all the nuances of the situation. This will allow you to plan your budget in advance and receive the highest quality legal assistance.
